Starting today, June 14, a new ordinance will be put in place in the city of Chicago to curb dangerous motorcycle drivers and drag racers in the city. The ordinance requires that the person operating a motorcycle keep at least one hand on a handlebar grip while in motion. Furthermore, the operator shall ride the motorcycle “only while sitting astride the seat, facing forward, with one leg on each side of the motorcycle.”

This also provides police with more resources to combat illegal drag racing in the city.
